Definitions

  • the bottles are often stored in a refrigerator and if a drink is desired, the bottle must be removed from the refrigerator, opened, raised to pour and tilted over a drinking cup and then re-supplied in the refrigerator. These steps can be laborious or even impossible to accomplish for small children or for debilitated adults - such as the sick or old or handicapped people.
  • the initial opening of the threaded closure which is also provided with a guarantee strip, which must be broken when opening, requires some effort, which can not be applied by all.
  • the repeated opening and closing of such a beverage bottle leads to the escape of a portion of the carbon dioxide, so that the drink stale and becomes bubble-free, before it's completely consumed.
  • Pressure reservoir in which a propellant is received under pressure wherein the pressure reservoir is connectable via a pressure regulating device with the storage space.
  • the pressure control device has an axially movable control element, which is acted upon by a biasing means, so that it is kept closed becomes.
  • the internal pressure acts on the control element in the closing direction.
  • the ambient pressure acts on the control element in the direction of its open position.
  • FIG. 3 The push button dispenser with all its components in one
  • Figure 10 A dumbbell-shaped intake manifold cross-section under the same pressure inside and outside and right next to it with reduced pressure inside.
  • this push button dispenser is shown with all its components in a further exploded view from another angle. It can be seen again at the top of the ISiedeckel 2 with kuppeiförmigem cover 29, and cap 27 and warranty flap 28. Below you can see the push button 16 with the two molded on its underside plastic compression springs 3. Then follows the waisted version 4 with the top cover 36 for the Ausgusskanal. It can be seen that the upper end of the socket 4 is at an angle to the mounting axis. This upper end forms an annular socket, in which the push button 16 fits, which is then also arranged obliquely to the mounting axis.
  • the control element 5 is pushed from above through the upper end portion of the conical flow channel 9 and afterwards the receiving sleeve 8 is inserted from above. After that, the control element 5 can no longer be pulled upwards because it is enclosed by the receiving sleeve 8.
  • the receiving sleeve 8 forms with its inner side for the shoulder of the countersunk-shaped sealing cone 23 of the control element 5, a sealing surface 25.
  • the suction tube 10 is shown in a perspective view, with the associated Saugmündungs consortium 1 1.
  • it may have, for example, such a cross-sectional shape, which is not circular on the outside and forms a flow passage 17 with an adjoining extension 26 on both sides.
  • the suction pipe 10 has a roundish cross-sectional shape on the outside, but the cross-section runs at an acute angle in each case on each side of a wing 18, and the inner hollow cross-section forms a central flow channel 17, with on both sides of the same subsequent flat projections 26 extending into the Wings 18 extend into it.
  • Such a suction tube is preferably made of a rubber-elastic plastic, for example polyurethane polyurethane with a Shore C hardness of 40 to 60 and an inner diameter of the central channel of 1 .5 mm. This makes it possible to generate an approximately constant volume flow of approx. 1 .3 to 1 .4 l / min over the entire continuously reducing pressure difference range during dispensing. With harder material, for example with a Shore C hardness of 85 and more, the suction pipe behaves like a rigid pipe and the function is no longer guaranteed.
  • FIG 8 an alternative suction pipe cross section under the same pressure inside and outside and right next to it with reduced pressure inside is shown.
  • the suction tube simply has a rectangular cross-section with on the inside a flattened flow channel with semicircular side walls. Under high external pressure and low internal pressure, the suction tube is completely compressed in the central area as shown in the picture on the right, so that the flow channel is closed in this area, and two flow passages are formed with an overall greatly reduced flow cross section. When the external pressure decreases, the suction tube gradually opens up to the relaxed position in the picture on the left.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur à bouton-poussoir pour bouteilles contenant des boissons gazéifiées, qui comprend une tête (1) vissable sur une bouteille, pourvue d'un canal verseur latéral (15) et d'un bouton-poussoir (16) sur le côté supérieur. Un tube aspirant (10) qui est destiné à s'étendre vers le bas jusqu'au fond de la bouteille (20) à équiper fait saillie vers le bas. Celui-ci débouche en haut dans un système de clapet situé dans la tête (1), ce système présentant un organe de régulation (5) qui est axialement mobile par rapport à la bouteille (20) et est sollicité par un ressort (3) dans le sens de fermeture. Pour l'ouvrir, on appuie sur le bouton-poussoir (16) par le haut de sorte que la pression régnant à l'intérieur du tube aspirant (10) est réduite à la pression ambiante. De ce fait, le liquide est expulsé de la bouteille par la pression intérieure régnant dans la bouteille en partant de l'embouchure inférieure du tube aspirant (10) et en passant par le canal verseur (15). L'invention est caractérisée en ce que le tube aspirant (10) est réalisé dans une matière plastique souple comme du caoutchouc et ses sections transversales extérieure et intérieure sont conçues de telle manière que sa section de débit puisse être rétrécie par déformation lorsque la pression intérieure est réduite à la pression ambiante par rapport à la pression accrue régnant à l'extérieur. De ce fait, le liquide s'écoulant par unité de temps est maintenu approximativement constant en dépit de la diminution progressive de la pression dans la bouteille. Le distributeur à bouton-poussoir permet de vider pratiquement totalement de manière très confortable et sûre des bouteilles contenant des boissons gazéifiées, en position debout mais aussi en position couchée, par simple pression sur le bouton-poussoir.
